I started by stamping the background stamp by the Picket Fence Studios called All That Glitters onto my Neenah Solar Classic Crest 100 lb. card stock using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform. I also stamped the images from the Blah Humbunny stamp set and colored my images in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.

I adhered the presents using my Nuvo liquid adhesive onto my stamped background, and also adhered the bunny with foam adhesives. To finish my design, I used my white gel pen to add some details to the images and also added some crystal jewels on my background.

I also added the eyelashes to my cute little bunny using my 0.3 Copic multi-liner pen. Here’s a little close-up:

I used my Versafine Onyx Black ink to stamp the sentiment on my card. Here’s another look:

I hope you like my card today. Please visit http://katscrappinessblog.com/charity-blog-hop/ to find our more info about this hop. Click on the inlinkz button below to hop along with us and leave us a comment. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day.

About Me

I am married to an amazing man, Richard and we have two beautiful children (Dominic 31 and Jessica 23). I am an Interior Designer by trade, although I am now enjoying an "almost" retired life with my loving husband.

I love to create beautiful things and also love to decorate my home. Crafting is my passion. I've always been a fan of DIY projects. Four years ago, I started paper crafting (i.e., card making and scrapbooking).

In this Blog you will see a lot of crafting project inspiration - whether it's DIY decor for your home, or handmade cards, tags, planner and scrapbooking layouts. I would love it if you would stop by and check out recent and past posts. I hope that by doing so, I have inspired you to create beautiful things. Have an amazing day!
